Aug 27, 2012 (A Wilson) - As exposed in the trench, which is excavated in dark grey to black, fine-grained metagreywacke, chalcopyrite occurs in a number of flat to gently SE-dipping fractures which occur between two prominent, iron oxide-coated joints which strike about N-S, across the bedding, and dip vertically. The joints are about 4.5 feet apart, and in part they form the walls of the trench One flat fracture contains 0.5 inch to l inch of massive chalcopyrite, others range from 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch in thickness. Towards the bottom of the trench they appear to be more closely spaced, but thinner.
